Fun course to play because everything is reachable. Holes 1, 3, and 6 are in the 350 range and everything else is under 300 and can be aced.

Lots of large mature trees that act as natural obstacles.

I played the course in the fall, but I'd imagine the course is pretty well shaded during the summer months.

The park is pretty small, so if it's your first time you might not be sure which basket you're throwing at. The signs have the hole number and distance, but no picture as to the proper basket.

Unlike the other course in Carlyle, this one is flat. Some elevation would be nice, but you've got to work with the land available.

Hole 7's basket is located pretty close to a playground. I was the only one playing when I visited, but you might have to be careful in summer months.

Not a bad beginner course, but I prefer the other Carlyle course to this one mainly due to the elevation changes. If you want to make a short trip and hit each course twice you can do it relatively quick. Or if you're traveling to or from Centralia it's worth a quick stop along the way.

A second set of tees or some alternate basket placements would help this course out.
